is there a way to offer an investor a % of profit instead of % of ownership?
shares voting or  nonvoting?
i am looking to raise money to buy a business
my cost would be about 300k and this investor is willing to put in 75k. the rest i will have. either in cash or a bank loan
i am trying to decide what % he should get and how to structure it.

Re58,

The nature of an S corp. would prevent you from doing this because, by regulation, an S corp. can have only one type of stock.

There are ways to accomplish what you describe.

If you would like to discuss your specific situation (in confidence) send me a PM or contact me directly.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this, Robert.

The way I look at it, there really isn’t anything that would keep an S-Corp from entering into a simple revenue sharing agreement. Think licensing, royalties, etc.

These types of agreements don’t have to be tied to company stock at all. So, there shouldn’t be any legal conflict assuming that the investor is aware that his investment won’t buy him a share of the company but rather a share of the company’s profits.
